Example of what I am trying to do:

Code:

if (crosshairID is == 16)
{
Sendinput(LeftClick);
}


Anyone know how to do something like this?

You have the general function used for external key input in your pseudo code already. Just look at the docs for it to learn how to use it properly:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms646310(v=vs.85).aspx

This method will not work on all games though.

I am not seeming to understand the MSDN page. Can you give me an example of how you would use SendInput?

I don't personally use it so I don't have any examples readily available from personal projects, but there are plenty of examples via Google.
